50% of landfills and garbage forms because of plastic bags, waste material like kitchen waste and other kind of soluble items don't get mixed with soils because they are being packed in poly bags 5. Most of the plastic bags directly go to sea and pollute it.already a part of sea as large as a continent, became a plastic poisonous patch area near pacific sea.

. 500 billion and a trillion plastic bags are consumed worldwide each year.most bag are not recycled because it costs more to recycle a bag than to produce a new one.A single plastic bag can take up to 1,000 years to degrade. 2. Chemicals added to plastics are absorbed by human bodies. Some of these compounds have been found to alter hormones or have other potential human health effects. 3. millions of sea animals dying because of polythene bags including sacred cows who eat this and die.

Polythene ban : this is also very dangerous problem arising in India, many times govt imposed such bans but nobody following these bans. People are using plastic bags openly.Please ban it completely and strictly for the sake of human existence.this is a time bomb kind of thing more dangerous than atom bomb.People are ignoring this plastic issue but this may become a risk in whole human existence one day.Please take this seriously this is a big danger for our future.

there are cirtain advertisements luring crores of rs. to be won every hour but do any agency monitor this as to how much money they distributed, who is the beneficiary, whether the receiver paid tax on it? permission for such ads to be obtained from a central agency MRTP commission and they should monitor all such transactions of prizes. if no such money is paid to customers, penalty equalant to double the declared prize should be collected from them instantly without any scope of litigation.

There should be one central helpline/email and website, where people can report this and this should work :-)- Adding this number/website, should be made mandatory on product, so they can report damage/issue/concerns.

The rules are already in place for these misleading advertisement-however, implementations remains a challenge. Here is what we can do to make this implementation more effective.1)The penalty for misleading claims to be raised and passed on to customer who voices concerns2)selling of these items without proven efficacy and safety should involve heavy penalty and this should be applicable for all classes of medicines.3)The labels of these products should be approved by government.
